April is National Donate Life Month. Established in 2003 by Donate Life America and its partnering organizations, National Donate Life Month helps raise awareness about donation, encourages Americans to register as organ, eye, and tissue donors and honors those who have saved lives through the gift of donation. The number of patients waiting for organs changes every day. As of March 2024, the number of patients on the national transplant waiting list was more than 103,000, and every ten minutes, another person is added to the list. In fact, the number of patients who need a lifesaving transplant goes up faster than the number of available organs. By saying "yes" to being an organ donor, you are giving more hope for patients on the waiting list! We will be sharing more helpful information and statistics through the month of April and beyond.

I’m not usually one to use LinkedIn for personal posts but today is World Organ Donation Day, a cause that is close to my heart and more than ever right now. My husband Graeme had a liver transplant just over 5 weeks ago after being on the waiting list for 14 months. Graeme is an otherwise fit and healthy 35 year old who has a rare liver disease called PSC, for which the only feasible treatment was a transplant. Unfortunately, however, his body has decided this liver isn’t the one for him. Less than 4 weeks after his operation, he was placed back on the transplant waiting list for another and so the wait continues, this time with the added complication of post-op recovery. Thankfully his relentless positivity and laidback attitude are keeping us both steady! ?? Of course none of this would be possible without organ donation. Whilst we now have an opt-out system in the UK, the donation process isn’t as simple as noting that the deceased didn’t opt out and therefore proceeding with donation. The process still takes into account positive registrations and your next of kin will be consulted for their views when your time does come. Donation is ultimately still a choice and there are of course valid reasons why people may not wish to donate, but with only around 1% of people dying in circumstances that would make them a viable donor, it’s so important that their wishes are well known ?? So an urge from me to please take 5 minutes today to: ?? proactively register your choice, whatever that may be - for those in the UK, there’s a link in the post below, and ??? please have a conversation with your loved ones about your wishes. A decision to donate could save and significantly change up to 9 people’s lives - it truly is a gift of life ?? #giftoflife #organdonationawareness

Today, we commemorate #DonateLife Blue and Green Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about tissue and organ donation. As we reflect on this day, two crucial issues come to light regarding transplant care. First, it’s critical to acknowledge the pivotal role that caregivers play through every step of the process. Most living donations occur within families, increasing the likelihood of the donor becoming a caregiver to the recipient. Second, it's imperative to address the inequities families of color face to access the waitlist, find a suitable match, and navigate the donation process. Read NAC's Transplant Caregiving in the U.S Report to learn about how family caregivers are unrecognized, unprepared and under-resourced, and the urgent need to increase support services in the transplant system.? https://lnkd.in/ePBVe8mv #BlueandGreenDay #TransplantCare

What is living kidney donation? Living kidney donation is when someone chooses to give one of their kidneys to a person with kidney failure who needs a transplant. A kidney can be donated to a friend or family member, or even a stranger on the transplant waiting list. Visit our website for more information on why we need more living kidney donors, and how one donation can save up to three lives: https://lnkd.in/e9cJ2Ks3
